Academic content
The goal of the minor field program in Geography is to provide students
- an overview of the foundations of general geography,
- the knowledge necessary for studying issues of spatial development, the actors involved in this development, and the resulting problems on various levels,
- insight into the basic spatial preconditions of modern society,
- an in-depth understanding for the otherness of foreign living environments through the study of various regions as well as the ability to compare and engage in networked thinking,
- a grounding in the methods, scientific approaches, and tools of geography, in particular cartographic visualization, information collection and analysis in geographical information and communication systems, and the foundations of empirical social research.
Fluency in the German language and good skills in one modern foreign language are prerequisites for enrolling in the program.

Satzung über ergänzende Regelungen zum Zulassungs- und Prüfungsrecht
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.

Results of the last selection processes
The tables with the results of the last selection processes allow you to see the assigned grade/number of points in the selection process which would have sufficed and what the waiting period would have been to secure admission. The assigned grade/number of points is based by subject on the average grade or weighted grades achieved in the German higher education entrance qualification, on test results and/or outcome of the selection interview, and also on professional or practical experience in the respective subject.
The results of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd succession procedure can be found in the detailed results list
2024/2025: Selection score: 1.7; Waiting period (in half-years): 7 (2.4)
2023/2024: Selection score: 1.4; Waiting period (in half-years): 7
2022/2023: Selection score: 1.9; Waiting period (in half-years): 6
2021/2022: Selection score: 1.8; Waiting period (in half-years): 7 (2.1)

Lottery procedure
Applicants who are not nationals of EU member states or of signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area or who are not equivalent to Germans pursuant to Section 1 (2) No. 2-3 HZVO (Baden-Württemberg University Admission Regulations) and/or do not hold a German higher education entrance qualification may not take part in the lottery procedure.
Lottery procedures are conducted in subjects with restricted admission where places are still available. Should places still be available after the final waiting list procedure, these are allocated in a lottery procedure. Application for participation in the lottery procedure must be made online and separately for each degree programme to which admission is sought. The application period for the winter semester is from 1 September to 30 September and for the summer semester from 1 March to 31 March. Applications received earlier or later than stipulated will not be considered.
The online application portal for the lottery procedure is only open during the application period.
